I've shot guns before, been through several safety course, etc...never owned one though. My dad isn't a gun owner, so I haven't been around guns my entire life like most southerners are.
I turn 16 in June, and when I get my license, I figure I can transport myself to a gun range easily enough.
HOWEVER...being a minor, am I even allowed by law to transport a gun, loaded or unloaded, AT ALL? Speaking of long guns here...from what I do understand, handguns are considered concealed weapons when carried in vehicles, and thus require a concealed carry license of some sort? Same thing for long guns? Is it worth my time to get one before I turn 18?
Thinking about a mossberg 500/590.
